Hey Liz, great pictures!!!! And you're looking good! HAve been reading Maggie's regular blog, but still haven't worked out if you are in Japan yet.! Passed you're flat regularly, and it feels wierd to know you aren't there! The top flat is still for rent. How is Audie enjoying it all? Can she write a blog sometime?? Love to you both Jo.
Hi, Liz: Thanks for the latest batch of pictures. As I said in my last effort, they really bring us frozen Ontarians very much closer to you. It is great to have them. Send more when you can. I have become a fairly avid blog reader. Maggie's voluminous blogs are great for keeping me up to date with where you are, what you are doing and what the ocean is doing to you - which, at the moment, seems to be quite a lot. I also read quite a few of the students' blogs, some of which can be really fascinating. When I read that you had insisted on going out to commune with the tempestuous Pacific, my admiration for you in going on this trip reached a new high. I had begun to get a faint impression that some 'bloggers' were either totally disinterested in, or even positively angry with, the sea. Which would be plain silly, wouldn't it? I mean you can get to all the places you are visiting by air, attend classes in dry-land institutes of learning, eat exotic foods in exotic dry-land restaurants, talk to old friends and make new ones, etc. without going anywhere near the ocean. I think the fact that you insisted on leaving the social indoor whirl to commune face to face with the angry Pacific was simply terrific - I actually applauded, alone in front of my computer (thereby frightening poor Bailey - so what's new?) Of course, I do realize that the ocean is perhaps overdoing it a bit on your present trip - but that's how it is with oceans, isn't it?! If one isn't prepared to put up with thir mood swings, one can always go less tempestuously by land or a whole lot quicker by air! Anyway, when I heard of your close encounter with the angry sea my heart was gladdened. 'Oh! how you do go on!', do I hear you say? Right, I will shut up and take you-know-who for yet another you-know-what. All my love. David Oh, yes, I nearly forgot - do you ever get to read your Email?
Liz and Audie love the pics! and Liz, we enjoy reading your commentaries. Got some good news! Randy is now back at work. Yay! Love, R&E
